Refurbished Doors

Why is it so hard to remember to take "before" pictures?


These were closet doors, made from plywood and a framed edging.


They had been stained and varnished in one of those old brown colors.
If you've ever dealt with old houses/furniture/woodwork
you probably have a good idea what I mean color-wise.


The varnish wasn't glossy, so I didn't even bother sanding.
A coat of black paint.
Then the red and/or mustard.
An orbital sander.
(love my orbital sander!)
A coat of satin varnish.

A new life for old doors!
